Nothing helpful to add, sorry but my thought on all this is I'd be worried about this mess coming back on ME.
Hell, I've seen people on YouTube get bent and scream bloody murder over much, MUCH less on a new car. I know as a viewer you only see one side of the story, but in one case, based on what was shown with how a dealer handled the problem, he's pretty much sworn off GM products (he had to go to GM Corporate to get restitution).
